## Story

According to a story published on OurQuadCities.com , Juan Gallegos has been Two Men and a Truck for ten years, working his way up from mover to regional manager. As a reward for his decade of dedication and hard work, Gallegos was recognized as one of a handful of recipients to earn a life-changing opportunity—a $50,000 scholarship to buy into his own franchise.

Gallegos wife Elisabet Acosta also works with Two Men and a Truck , and is ecstatic about what this opportunity could provide for them and their two children. “It’s like a roller coaster ride. It’s exciting the whole way through but there are ups and downs. You know, there are sacrifices that we’ve all had to make as a family, so to see all of his hard work pay off today is absolutely mindblowing,” said Elisabet to Our Quad Cities.

Gallegos and his family are choosing to relocate to El Paso, Texas for the opportunity, and look forward to becoming a part of the growing community. Gallegos lamented leaving behind some of the colleagues and mentors who shaped his career with Two Men and a Truck, but is excited to see what the future holds as a first-time business owner.
